The synergy of Elephant and Rhino is highly regarded as an effective and formidable Feng Shui symbol of protection.

Every one yearns and strives for the perfect life - vibrant health, loving & secure relationships, recognition and success, and growing wealth and prosperity! However, before we can even think of harnessing the energy of the universe to make life everything we would like it to be, it is absolutely imperative that we protect your home and space from bad energies. The right remedies must be in place to clear all obstructions so that the good energies can surround us and pave the way for us to achieve our life aspirations. Hence, the key word here is Protection, Protection and Protection!

In 2011, you should take extra precaution to protect your house because the very nasty #7 Red Fying Star has taken up residence in the centre of the chart. Essentially, what this means is that no one is spared from the affliction of the #7 Burglary Star. This violent star which brings violence, robbery, burglary, accidents and conflicts affects everyone; hence it is all the more imperative to put in place powerful and effective cures to protect your family members and home.

This is where most Feng Shui masters summon the help of the indomitable pair – the Elephant and Rhinoceros, two of the most protective animals in Feng Shui. Together, they are the proven and trusted cure as a formidable deterrent to suppress the negative chi of the #7 Star.

In many cultures in the East the mighty Elephant is viewed as a sacred animal- the elephant is one of the eight holy animals in Buddhism whilst in the Hindu religion, Lord Ganesha is the God with the head of an elephant. As the largest land mammal, it has naturally become a symbol for power, wisdom, and strength. Its part as icon of fertility stems from the legend that the mother of Buddha had dreams about a pure white elephant directly prior to Buddha’s birth. It is also used to symbolize peace, longevity, good luck and success. In ancient times, the Elephant was a war animal, often given as gifts to kings and emperors, hence its progression to a figure of royalty, supremacy and stateliness. With such a magnificent history and background, the elephant is indeed ideal in its role not only as the supreme protector of the household but also the grantor of wishes.

Among the most ancient of animals, the Rhinoceros, with its ability to thrive for millions of years speaks for its ability to fend off predators. The sight of its size, primitive look, tough resistant skin and strategically positioned horns are enough for would be attackers to think twice before acting. Small wonder then that this hardy and resilient creature has become a powerful symbol of protection against robbery, accidents, office politics, backstabbing and enemies as well as to counter the violent #7 star. The Rhinoceros too has its place in ancient classics as a symbol of virility and vigour and used to warding off evil and trouble.

Already each mighty on its own, the combination of these two animals is indeed a force to reckon with. The synergy of their combined forces is highly regarded by Feng Shui master as an effective and formidable Feng Shui symbol of protection. These tenacious creatures have attained their protective attributes due to their indomitable strength and size in the animal kingdom as well as their unyielding and resilient nature. Whilst they are usually sought after for their role as protectors, owners are also rewarded with the other positive qualities symbolized by these valiant animals – endurance, longevity, peace, harmony, authority, good luck and success.

You can benefit from the protective and beneficial energy of this pair of Feng Shui guardians in many ways - bring a small sculpture or plaque into your home or office, carry or wear Feng Shui accessories such as tassels, pendants or key rings with their image.

Place an Elephant and Rhinoceros figurine in the sector afflicted by the #7 Red Star or facing out near the main entrance of homes and offices to ward off robberies and accidents as well as keeping away those with less than honourable intents. Additionally, quarrels and conflicts will be minimized for a more conducive and pleasant and harmonious work or home environment. Hanging a plaque with Elephant and Rhino images on your main door or wall facing outward has the same effect.

Alternatively, you can carry special amulets in the form of tassels, key chains or pendant which combine the energies from these powerful symbols to guard you from those with bad intentions, untoward incidents and hostile situations. Wear it, clip it, or pop it in your bag. Dangle it on the rear view mirror of your car. Besides being a great looking accessory to jazz up your outfit or bag, it can be your personal ‘guardian angel’ is always there with you, to protect you from harms, misfortune and bring you good luck, strength and success.
